An immaculate Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage set in an idyllic country lane, offered chain-free. The house combines period charm—exposed beams, brick fireplace and a vaulted principal bedroom—with recent modernisation throughout, creating a comfortable home for a couple or downsizer seeking countryside living with good commuter links to Brentwood and London.
Externally the property sits on a large, mature plot (approx. 100ft x 75ft) with landscaped rear gardens and open views over surrounding farmland. The ground floor includes a spacious lounge with log burner, a useful double bedroom and a fitted kitchen; upstairs the principal bedroom retains characterful beams and a separate bathroom.
Buyers should note the Grade II listing: alterations will be restricted and may complicate works. The cottage is timber-framed as built, likely with limited insulation, and uses oil-fired heating—factors that may affect running costs and future upgrade choices. Broadband is slow and mobile signal average.
This is a rare opportunity to own a historic cottage in a quiet hamlet close to Thorndon Country Park and local schools. It suits buyers who value character, a large garden and countryside views, and who are comfortable working within listed-building constraints.
